Bad News: My True Form Changed Too

Six thousand!

Seven thousand!!!

Xiao Bai didn't know how much time had passed; she could only watch as her magic experience grew higher and higher, and this increase alarmed Xiao Bai.

"This isn't right..."

Something's definitely not right.

It was just a sacrifice of Erosion Form of the same level. Logically speaking, even if this Erosion Form of the same level had experience points at the peak of LV3, just short of LV4, it would definitely not be enough to push the magic level to LV4 when converted into magic experience points.

This transformation process also requires a certain amount of energy. According to Xiao Bai's previous calculations, if the magic power value exceeds 5,000, it is considered to be of a high level in its Erosion Form!

But what's going on now?!

"Wait a minute... something doesn't seem right..."

As her magic level rapidly increased, Xiaobai wondered if it was just Xiao Bai imagination, but the text above the [Magic] skill seemed to be distorting and changing.

Upon witnessing this scene, Xiao Bai instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Magic is not only the source of her extraordinary power, but also the very essence of her life! If something happens to this skill...

"Tsk, I knew there was a reason why I couldn't sacrifice my Erosion Form inside the Sky Screen! But... how did she know that sacrificing the Erosion Form would cause trouble? No, there must be something I overlooked."

Although Xiao Bai was flustered by the change in her magic skills, she still managed to maintain a minimum level of composure.

It makes no sense that the entity on the Sky Screen could understand the negative effects of the Erosion Form on itself without even conducting the experiment.

My current situation is definitely different from how I am on the Sky Screen!

But... how is it different?

They're all in Erosion Form, they've all activated the Demons's magic, they're all... wait, Mutant Magic??

Xiao Bai suddenly realized something.

Unlike the self in the Sky Screen, who only possessed negative emotions and Demons power, the real self, upon entering the Erosion Form, had an added variable.

Mutant Magic!

Mutant Magic from Magical Creatures!

Therefore, strictly speaking, his Erosion Form is a product of the combination of Demons power, Magical Girls power, Magical Creatures power, and positive and negative emotions!

If there's any variable, that's the only one!

So the problem lies in the combination of these forces?

"No, now is not the time to think about these things... We need to find a way to stop it!"

Although they guessed the reason, even knowing this didn't seem to solve Xiao Bai's current predicament.

As the font of the [Magic] skill changed and his Magic experience rapidly increased, Xiao Bai felt that something deep within his soul had changed.

She felt as if she were bathed in a warm current, her whole body feeling warm and comfortable. This feeling both captivated and alerted her.

It seems like this is a feeling brought about by an increase in life level, but... the change in [magic] level is still ongoing, Xiao Bai has no idea what will happen when the change is complete!

Even worse, Xiao Bai felt as if her magic was out of control!

"Not good--!"

A tremor seemed to emanate from within her body, and the magical skill finally exploded before Xiao Bai. The dazzling light made Xiao Bai instinctively close her eyes, but Xiao Bai quickly forced them open again to see the extremely dazzling light before her.

This is the depths of the consciousness world, so theoretically there shouldn't be anything like 'not being able to open one's eyes'. But right now, in Xiao Bai's own consciousness world, she really can't open her eyes and can't see the shape of the light in front of her clearly!

After an unknown amount of time, the light finally faded before Xiao Bai.

The skill panel reappeared in Xiao Bai's eyes, and she immediately looked at the [Magic] skill.

She then froze on the spot.

The original [Magic] skill has disappeared, replaced by a new skill.

[Magic Source LV3]

"The source of... the Magic Source?"

Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment, then her consciousness touched the [Magic Source] skill, and immediately the [Magic Source] skill unfolded in front of her.

Several skills appeared on the panel.

[Magical Girl Form: LV3 (Activating)]

[Demon Form: LV3 (Not Activated)]

[Shining Form: LV0 (Not Activated)]

[Form: LV0 (Inactive)]

[Connection Magic: LV3]

[Separation Magic: LV3]

[Barrier Magic: LV2]

[Suggestion][Disguise][Illusion][Telepathy]...

"... ha?"

Looking at this list and the two unactivated new forms below, Xiao Bai was momentarily stunned.

She tapped on [Shining Form] for a while, and after confirming that she couldn't activate Shining Form in this way, she fell into deep thought once again.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Bai suddenly had a guess.

"Could it be... that my previous Magical Girl Form was actually incomplete?"

Actually, Xiao Bai had suspected this a long time ago.

After all, she activated her Magical Girl Form not by touching the Magical Girls's magic, but by relying on the residual crystals of the Demons's magic to become Magical Girls.

Although it's unclear why the [magic power] activated by the Demons's magic would turn her into Magical Girls, it's obvious that she's different from traditional Magical Girls.

Her Magical Girl Form is incomplete; she cannot allow her Emotion Seed to normally increase her magic power. Ordinary Magical Girls' magic power gradually increases once their Emotion Seed is activated, until it reaches the upper limit of their potential magic power. However, Xiao Bai cannot increase her magic power in this way.

When she is emotionally agitated, her magic cannot be enhanced; when she is emotionally depressed, her magic is unaffected.

It seems like a good thing, but it also limits her growth.

This forced Xiao Bai to sacrifice his skills to increase his strength.

But now... her Magical Girl Form seems to have been further improved, and she even has other forms!

Does this mean that she can increase her magic power... no, her Magic Source level, without needing to use sacrificial skills in the future?

And the Magic Source... is it the [source of magic]? Could it be that I've accidentally connected to the true source of magic in this world?

Chapter 263 Bad News, the Main Body Has Changed Too

"... So, that's why Xiao Bai turned into a child?"

Inside the mansion, the Magical Girls discussed why Xiao Bai had shrunk. After listening to Xiao Bai's explanation, Xiao Qiu looked at Kelly.

Kelly hesitated for a moment, recalling all the knowledge she had acquired, all the Magical Girls in history, and frowned as she said:

"I've never heard of such a thing..."

Xiao Bai told everyone that the nature of his magic had changed, but selectively. Xiao Bai didn't reveal a single word about his special abilities or other forms.

She simply told everyone that she seemed to have accidentally connected to the source of magic, which allowed her to advance her life level and become the way she is now.

However, Xiao Bai was speechless when he thought about this.

Looking at her delicate pink palms, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness. "... I never imagined that the Erosion Form would turn out like this."

"Can you still use your Erosion Form?"

Youyou asked at this moment.

Xiao Bai glanced at his [Demon Form], remained silent for a while, and then said, "I can't use it for now, but my strength has definitely increased... Hmm, do I still have the Mutant Magic that I separated earlier? I plan to try it again..."

"No!"

"Can't!!"

"Absolutely not!"

Xiao Qiu, Xiao Chun, and Kelly shouted in unison.

Xiao Qiu said worriedly, "You've already become like this, and we don't even know if you can recover. What if you get injected with Mutant Magic and become even smaller?"

"That's right, Xiao Qiu's concerns are not unfounded. It's one thing to shrink, but what if she suddenly becomes much older, or even turns into Demons?!"

Xiao Chun shares the same worries as Xiao Qiu.

Kelly, however, spoke to Xiao Bai from a rational perspective:

"You've already become like this, which proves that the Mutant Magic still has an effect on your body. Before we figure out the real reason why you shrunk, the Mutant Magic absolutely cannot be used again, otherwise, no one knows what the consequences will be."

"... All right."

Since everyone else disagreed, Xiao Bai didn't insist any further.

Moreover, she suspected that even if she received another injection, she might not be able to activate the Erosion Form.

After all... she also has a [Demon Form].

This form is clearly an Upper Rank form of the Erosion Form. If it can continue to absorb Mutant Magic or Demons magic in the future, it should provide nourishment for this form.

"Um..." As Xiao Bai pondered, Song Niandong hesitantly asked, "... Xiao Bai... Sister, can you... change back?"

"!?"

As soon as the question was asked, Xiao Chun suddenly looked up at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai's pupils contracted, and he suddenly stood up, saying:

"... I'm going out for a bit."

"Wait!" Chen Xiaoxia suddenly called out to Xiao Bai. She crossed her arms and looked down at Xiao Bai, who was much shorter than her. A smile suddenly appeared on her face as she asked:

"It's black. We're companions, after all. You wouldn't hide what its true form looks like from us, would you?"

"..."

"Xiao... Xiaoxia, Xiao Bai must have her reasons for not telling us, let's..." Xiao Qiu pulled Xiaoxia back and gently persuaded her.

Xiaoxia, however, said with dissatisfaction, "No matter what the reason, you can't possibly hide your true appearance from us, can you? We've been fighting side by side for so long, and... Xiao Qiu, aren't you curious about what this guy's true form looks like?"

"Hmm..."

Xiaoxia's words made Xiao Qiu lower her head.

Okay, she was indeed very curious about what Xiao Bai looked like.

Blocked by Chen Xiaoxia, Xiao Bai's expression was not good, but her youthful face, with its gloomy expression, actually had an inexplicable cuteness.

Xiao Chun, who originally wanted to help Xiao Bai, couldn't help but stop when she saw Xiao Bai's expression. She wanted to look at him a little longer, and she even subconsciously took out her phone and quickly pressed the shutter button on Xiao Bai.

The sound of camera shutters around him left Xiao Bai speechless, and Chen Xiaoxia, who refused to leave his side, made the veins on Xiao Bai forehead bulge.

"... Blue idiot! I'm saying it for the last time, get out of the way!"

"Don't call me an idiot! What? Want to fight? Come on! Let's get revenge for all the times you bullied me before!"

Chen Xiaoxia rolled up her sleeves, intending to have a one-on-one solo match with Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai ignored the blue idiot.

She took a deep breath, suddenly froze, and looked behind Chen Xiaoxia with a puzzled expression, asking:

"Huh? Uncle Chen? What are you doing here?"

"!?"

Hearing Xiao Bai's words, even knowing that Xiaobai might be Xiao Bai, Xiaoxia still subconsciously turned her head to look behind her:

"Dad?!"

But there was nothing behind it except the courtyard gate.

I've been scammed!!!

Realizing this, Chen Xiaoxia immediately turned around, and sure enough, Xiao Bai had vanished from the spot, nowhere to be found.

The time it took to turn her head back was probably less than two seconds, yet Xiao Bai disappeared silently in front of Xiaoxia, which meant that her strength had indeed improved to a great extent, just as she had said.
